KMS Client Activation
Using slmgr to configure KMS
You need a KMS server with a KMS host key installed. This server will need to receive either 25 workstation activation requests or 5 server requests before it will activate clients. You can simulate KMS client requests using a KMS client emulator. A list of KMS client keys (GLVK) can be found at technet. KMS client commands, note this is to activate the Windows OS:slmgr /skms hostname:1688 - sets the KMS server destination as hostname on port 1688
slmgr /ipk insert_activation_key_here - register activation key on client.
slmgr /ato - activate the KMS client key via the KMS host.
slmgr /dlv - shows general info on the client or host.
slmgr /xpr - show trial period expiration date.
slmgr /rearm - extend trial period expiration date. CSVLK are KMS-host keys, for on-line (or phone) activation through MS. Each key can activate 6 different machines, real or virtual. Machines, activated with CSVLK keys, become KMS-hosts and can activate clients if they use GVLK key.
